Thank you for your replies.

Sorry to drag this thread up again but I was reading BH's Things Every HD/HDR-FOX Owner Should Know. What are people's opinion on turning on the 5V Antenna Power? What effect do people expect it will have?

Thank you for your replies which are noted.

Freely are freely throwing around the term Wi-Fi when they actually mean "internet connection". They even recommend an Ethernet connection. https://www.freely.co.uk/help/faqs/connect-internet

Having had a couple of Channel 5's NFL games cut off before the final result, I did a search here for "padding" Resisting the urge to ask directly, I fiddled around with my Web-IF Schedule page and found the padding dialogue which appears when you click on the "More" button and choose "Disable...

Deleted old irrelevant message.

Looks like this retailer is being a bit cheeky in offering it for sale on "back-order". https://www.danielstv-home.co.uk/product/humax-fhr-6000t-freely-pvr-recordable-set-top-box-black/

prpr - Thank you. I will explore the Restore TV site. I do have a satellite dish which feeds into an ancient Sky box that I never use. That may be their reason not to help me. Owen Smith - Took the aerial out of the power block and plugged it directly into the Humax Got the "signal too weak"...

All of the equipment, including the amplifier, was installed by the aerial installer. It's from around 2004-ish so early FreeView. I do not know what they are or do. The only installing I have done was to install the filters. When the reception issues return I will remove the amp (white box)...

Thank you all for your replies. Here are photos of attachments to my aerial mast. They are about 10 foot off the ground so this is the best I could do.

Thank you, Martin. May I tentatively ask, what is the purpose of amplifying the signal? Presumably, as it's digital, it's to get it above a certain minimum threshold?

It's like pulling teeth (to you) because you know what you know and I don't know what you know or need to know. We were discussing picture quality. Is it such a leap to think that's why you asked about the signal amplifier?

Didn't realise signals could be too high? Here is the signal amplifier Oddly, the SD channels improved last night. And when I look at them now, they seem fine. I won't bypass the signal amplifier as I wouldn't be able to detect any difference in picture quality.

Thank you for the reply. I will do the bypass tomorrow. The chain of command is Aerial > Restoretv.uk filter > signal amplifier > Humax > TV (I think). I will check that tomorrow.

So... All my SD channels are breaking up and are unwatchable. Apart from the 3 that are on the PSB3/BBC B Mux. HD channels are fine. Live readings from the TV interface are:- ChannelFrequencySignal StrengthSignal QualityNetworkMuxType 21474.0 MHz80%100% Cambs & BedsPSB3/BBC BDVB-T2...
